It was always going go be a struggle to reach or better the heights of last season, however what we have been subjected to thus far is simply unacceptable. We don't play football, we rarely score more than one goal a game and we seldom keep clean sheets. For me the writing was on the wall when Stirling Albion (a team now flirting with existing League 2) turned us over in the League Cup which ultimately seen us exit the tournament pitifully at the first hurdle . This was followed up by yet another sluggish start to our league campaign. Yes there was a mini revival which soon faded, but all in all it has been a miserable half season so far. Everyone moans about the board not investing in the squad and our board are by no means perfect btw, however the manager has a lot to answer for as well. Houston has a sqaud that has 2 players for each position, give or take. I don't remember Elvis or Holt having such options? Can Houston be trusted to throw more money away? Especially when we have no chance of being promoted this season imo - playoffs or not! As I have said on here previously the best players of the Houston era were not signed by him(vaulks, alston, sibbs, Grant, Loy etc) As each of them move on Houstons failings in the transfer market become increasingly apparent. I personally wouldn't give him a penny in January based on his previous recruitment. How many of the Houston signings below can be genuinely regarded as a success? You could probably count them on one hand.

Complete and utter garbage, every game is just a battle with no flowing football and any points we do win is down to grinding out a result rather than dominating a team.

In terms of footballing quality this season is up there with the worst of them, at times its been a case of humping it into the corner and hoping for a throw in, it is brutal. I’d be more than happy if the manager decided to call it.
